Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz (PC4-21300) C16 Memory Kit - Black

Upgrading my aging VR system with the DDR4 32GB kit has been a total game-changer. My once laggy setup now loads VR environments swiftly and handles immersive experiences without hiccups. Whether I'm exploring new virtual worlds or jumping into action-packed games, the performance boost is clear. It's like giving my VR life a refreshing burst of college energy—all without breaking the bank. This upgrade has seriously extended my system's lifespan until I can finally invest in a next-gen rig.

Upgraded a ten-year-old Asus X99-A motherboard from 16GiB DDR4-2400 to this kit of 32GiB DDR4-3200. Given the age of the motherboard, having been released near the dawn of DDR4, I was concerned it might not be able to handle the higher clock speed. But a few small tweaks in the BIOS, and the system booted into the new RAMs and completed four passes of MemTest86 without issue. I even got an almost 20% memory bandwidth boost as measured by `stressapptest`.Perfect outcome; no notes.

Bought for a PC build. Item as described and arrived quickly.

**Motherboard:** MS-C767 MSI MAG B365M MORTARI've found multitasking increasingly challenging since I purchased this gaming PC a couple of years ago. After investigating the source of the bottleneck, I suspected that the RAM was the issue due to various symptoms my PC was exhibiting. Applications responded slowly, and web browsers dragged my system to a crawl.After researching the best RAM options for my motherboard, I decided to upgrade to Corsair Vengeance RAM, known for its excellent performance at a reasonable price. The MS-C767 motherboard supports a maximum speed of 2666 MHz, so I chose this speed instead of the 3200 MHz RAM that initially came with the PC. Although it's possible to use higher clock speed RAM with the MS-C767, I was still determining whether it would surpass the 2666 MHz limit. I also encountered compatibility issues when trying to install overclocked RAM, so I opted for the Corsair Vengeance modules, which are guaranteed to be compatible with my system.Removing the old RAM and installing the new modules was incredibly straightforward. Upgrading from 16GB to 32GB significantly boosted performance, noticeable not only during gaming but also in everyday tasks. As soon as you boot up your system, you'll quickly realize that you made the right choice.

I was a bit worried at first because i read alot of reviews with asus and corsair and i believe in their products from the performance i have always got out of them . My motherboard is a asus tuf x99 sabertooth with corsair 16 gb x8 works flawlessly. I wanted to upgrade my ram so i bought two more sticks of the 8gb, gives me a total of what was suppose to be 32gb. For some reason with many configurations later i still ended up with only 32gb with the latest bios 3801. Ok these second pair would not boot by themselves unless my original sticks was in there and booted and still showed 24gb. I did some more searching and saw alot of people with same problems not just with asus boards asrock,msi, etc. etc. i put the new pair in by them selves no posts not even if i pressed the mem ok to look for bad mem config and automatically suppose to take care of bad configuration in memory timings etc make them compatible with board . That didnt work no post no beep just flashing mem led. Now i want to mention in the bios and in windows using cpu-z or other utils says 32 gb installed . So i ran the system memory tester in windows 10, all ram showed fine with all four sticks in . I was very puzzled. O k saw some things about setting xmp to enabled for overclock a settings in main bios and i also went into memory config set the ram for 2400 instead of 3000 i clicked to save bios and it rebooted and got post beep. showed 32 gb for bios post as normal went into bios again after it said failed to overclock i wasnt trying to overclock anything except enable xmp to set settings if i wanted to manually put in settings. Well this time set it to 3000mhz for the ram frequency and saved bios and it rebooted . I took all four sticks out put the new ones back in and these are version 5.39 same as my other white corsair stick with rev being 5.20 save voltage timing. So i put one stick at a time of these new sticks and i was getting post beeps and info to go into bios and save my config . I was happy stick posted by itself so i put second new stick in of the corsair veng ver 5.39 and rebooted and the machine posted i was Extremely happy . Seems these sticks needed a jumpstart of some sort to get them to bulge . I went in bios as normal saved config, rebooted let windows boot and i went into my pc properties all 32gb all sticks showed finally 32GB of system ram . That was something then i ran some of Nvidias demos also others the valley, elemental, capcoms resident evil benchmark too. Totally stable. Let machine stay on for as normal . I dont turn off my machine unless bad storms. For all that are wondering i do have the asus gtx geforce 1080. Played a few games yesterday no crashes at all so this mem is very stable ram. I can say others might not have to do all this troubleshooting with new motherboards boards like the x299 or others but i though i share with you my experience because i have never had this happen before but it was fun trying to troubleshoot it and to finally figure out how i got it to work. Hope this might help others . Thanks,
